I have to agree that something foul is going on at BET, but I'm going to
have to ask around the city and find out whats really going on before I
comment further. I will say that programmers at urban radio and TV
stations tend to be cowards. They'll champion Tricky, Goldie, Roni Size
at home and with friends....but at work they wouldn't even dare dream of a
playlist to include artists that their advertisers don't know or approve
of....but I guess all commercial media is like that.....Hmmm....well, at
least we have listener supported radio. I guess I'd better donate some
funds to WPFW....
